TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, I'm listening to the old car podcast, I believe it's on podcast, we're going to get professional. I'm hosting the show, he's Peter Reyners, and it's on my left, my car host, we think he's gonna be on the internet. Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm waiting for a mixer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm ordering a mixer like... Yeah, it's coming over. Yeah, it's coming over. My other car host, my right, he's like, is that the hell the almost, ah, car collector extraordinaire?

I can't go with that. And today's guest is Mr. Michael Sideris. Doctor, Doctor, Doctor.

Ah, let's see. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Good afternoon, Michael Sideris, welcome on board, my friend. I was.

I haven't spoken to you in a long time. You're on episode, baby years, where you spoke about how to sit in a car or something. Where did you go? No, but it's 71, I mean 71, but...

Oh, I'm counting on it. I'm already 100. Yeah, so I'm at the beginning of the episode. Yeah, the end of the episode.

I don't know what's really good. So welcome on board, babe. Thanks for watching. How's your flying?

I'm supposed to go out tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Flying plane. Yeah, flying plane. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, come with it. It's serious, it's not 22. No, it's, it's not 20. Well, isn't it?

It's not 20. No, it's not where. He's the big jet that flew above Russia. You could just take the simple Zener of lighting.

It would have been nice. You know what, but... Don Travolta got off with the brakes. Don't know, Zener, he's got one.

He got one. But he couldn't have. Even, he couldn't have fulled around it. Nevermind.

It's an archery. They're like the 3-2-swolds of the sky. So have confidence through a flight with them with you? Will they stop this one?

No, I think it's up. Maybe he's at the border. How big is this point? Look up, I can handle it.

Okay, so I'd like you to adjust pin in. No, I'd be fit in the front comfortably with spacing with one else. Yeah, I'll put like an escape. I'll put you on this.

Maybe you'd fit a counter-code. Do you have a couple of us? Yeah, there is actually. There's a little lady that comes and gives us lunch.

You can bring a little lady. You can bring a little lady. We don't live on the way. We don't live on the way.

You can lean forward. Okay, so it's what's a four-seater. I'm going to drink on the tree. I've never met you.

I'm the flyer's applying to the toilet. You're a rock. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. When you were in the white school with these babies and all that. What I mean was, like, do you have a hat for you? No, not hat.

No, not hat. Yeah, but you have a hat. Don't you have a hat for me, the puffy pirate show? He's not fucking Halloween, though.

He want the gold dress. What they call the general aviation party. Yeah, yeah. Like he wears jeans, he doesn't wear a suit.

Do you have a general driver's glasses, not going to have you vehicle glasses to drop? Okay, so drop them in. You know, cabbys wear uniforms? Yeah, he's an Uber.

Okay. That's why I'm working on the heavy, the next one. The next one. It's like, it's still fly river on my guess.

Okay, so any guy who's six-seater. Okay, that's a much less... How much land do I need to land a plane? How much space?

Well, this one, this particular one, you need... Look, comfortably you want to run away a bit at least one and a half kilometres. Okay, so that's it, let's go. These guys can drive.

We're going to go to Bextown. I'm just going to go to Bextown. We're going to Bextown. We'll jump in the plane and we're going to have a handlebar for a weekend.

And I'll go to Bextown. Underbelly? Yeah. Half or fifteen minutes.

We're going to have 25 minutes. We're going to have a traffic. Well, actually, I'm actually taking the wife to Mudgey next week. I'm going to have a little bit of a change in the plane.

And that's much? I've never met anyone that's not a commercial bike. Why do you think people would buy it? Like so.

And yeah, no idea about it. Yeah, yeah. Does he get a hat? Is he going to have...

He's a real cat. He's a real cat. He's a real cat. He's a real cat.

He's a real cat. He's a real cat. He's a real cat. He's a real cat.

He's a real cat. He's a real cat. He's 42 minutes to imagine. He can't speak.

He can't speak. That's all different. Yeah, that's all different. Sorry, I'm not asking.

So we get out there, we're cruising and like, once you're up there, it's like driving a car. All that stuff, we've got to be able to be quiet. No, you get to buy it. This is this particular arrangement.

It's full glass cockpit. Right? It's got autopilot. It's got all the avionics you need.

It's pretty advanced. Okay. And do you need to like, talk to the telly? Yeah.

Traffic and stuff like that. I'll go to the bar. I'll go to the bar. I'll go to the bar.

I'll have to get out there and just like crash on the road. Extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, zero, two, two, nine up. The one of the ones you have to emerge is in land somewhere. Well, if you've never happened.

Well, no, I was the good thing with this airplane. It has a parachute. Parachute parachute. Two more.

Two more. That's what we want. That's what we want. That's what we want.

It's what we want. It's what we want. Yeah. They're fine.

The whole thing is, we're tired of this. No, not that. No, Ross is going to go. He's managed to ride.

That's fine. I want to play now. Yeah. So the philosophy is, it'll go like that.

The philosophy is you better off the land on one roof than flight through ten. So you're not right. So you're not right. The philosophy is, they're going to crash.

Are you getting ahead? I'm going to send you to a friend's astringer about the land in your roof. He's making sure he's got the garage. And if you dig...

Sorry, that's what you did. You dig trash. He'd be like, is it like the safety cell you're at? Yeah, he's the seat's right at 26 trees.

It's a lot 26 trees. And when you... That's about what we've got when Pete nailed the grid, they're bending your car. I'll put one more.

Next. So, you talk... What do you do with the math? Like, now that...

Can you take an extra person? You take four of us, then orbit? It's... Yeah, we can do four.

And if you get four in the plane, the thing that will limit us is weight. So, we'll... So, we'll take four of us while saying on fact. We can make it.

No, we can make it. We can stop and refuel. We can make it, but we just have the lighting to say. We could have the lighting to take full-text.

The fuel. Oh, so the tank's waded? Yeah, yeah. So, you have to compensate unless a fuel.

That's what you think I'm going to check in my life. That's what you're going to do. That's what you're going to do. They calculate how much back-which weight they got in your roof.

I thought they'd fill it up because you can't get off. They're going to put in the passengers and we've got... They've got X number of kilos weight. And then the pilot will tell them how much fuel he's going to need.

So, pay on these things. You've got about just under 400 kilos. And you can take it. Right?

What's the answer? How many kilos do you have? 20 million? The two hours, 20 years.

Oh, so he can go back and come back and pick us up and come back. He can be done by the couple of trips. Two hours, 20 minutes. We'll take the jet stuff like that.

Yeah, jet stuff like that. 30. We can't get the no- What would be an interesting thing to do is book a commercial flight. And compare.

How long are we actually taking this? That's a really good idea. You guys all make the same spot. We'll live from the studio.

Because we've got to live the studio. But we've got to be the middle. We've got to be the middle. We'll do the mixer.

We'll leave the studio. Yeah. We'll leave the studio. We'll leave the studio.

Yeah. Not the same time. Forget about it. Can you get a quiz?

See what's coming up here. Guys, I've got to say. So, you guys ate the coins. We'll see you and calling Gary.

Technically, we still have new stuff while we're doing the new clothes. was there a game? Yeah. Wolfliner calling out on a Virgin Fly?

No, they're background. They're big, honest fly. Sorry, I'm not in my best interest. Corner's flight.

And then what may you get? Okay, I'll start right now. No, you'll get there first. No, they'll go.

I suppose we'll have to go to the... What are we going to do? Do you think of the big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big? Yeah, no, we'll get there first.

You're right, you're right. Okay, when you get to the banks, you go to the chicken bank and everything. So, you're right, I'm a gangster. Just try to eat.

Now, but I've got that red passing. Yeah, the... The hat. The hat.

The hat. Don't give you a hat. There's a kind of piece. It actually has a remote.

You can actually open it up to the remote. You've got to remember that with your commercial flights. You do with all the bullshit. All the things running like, you've got to clean up, still getting it, whatever.

What do I want to make? When did you do this? When did you do this? When did I make 20 cans last week?

Winter, I flew up with Quannes. Booked with Quannes. I'm from Sydney. From Sydney.

Can I have on a race life? Right? We haven't received payment from Quannes yet. You can talk about that.

That's not a discussion. No, it's not a discussion. We can't talk about that. You can't.

Yeah. Why? It's over there. It's like, yeah.

So, it's up again. We have to wait for the Quannes finalist. Right. And, erm...

Wait a minute. I'm planning to story about being on planes. I've been wondering, everyone knows that my second sons are really working. We're getting on the plane and we're in Spain and the late...

Do you know, wait on planes? Is there a plane in Spain? The plane is in Spain. So, we're getting on the plane.

I don't know if anyone's been in Spain. No, no, no. They speak Spanish. Not your fault, you don't speak English.

I just walked around and connected. So, this lady said, in her book, in English, look, you need to take... So, she was trying to explain it in Spanish. I don't understand.

She said, no, Jackson said it next to me. You need to take this bag here that's going up on the plane and put underneath because it's too heavy. I don't understand. It's going on the same plane.

Why do we have to take the... No, it's not a key for a point. It's got a point. So, why am I moving stuff from one day?

You know, when you're in the airport, you're in the airport. Why am I moving stuff from here to here? Because it's going to be like what? The point.

If you're in the airport, you're going to be able to take the bag. You're probably not. You're probably not. You're probably going to be trying to meet the lab, please.

Like the Jumbo's? No. Just start the night. They just...

Can I stop? Stop or what? Stop or what? No, I'm going to give it.

That's a sequence. There's a sequence. It's not a follow-up sequence. They're connected to external power on the ground.

And that's what they do. They do it. They have... What a...

A trickle chatter. Well, your power's up there. Your power's up there. Your air-cons systems.

We have one. They bring the... We're shooting out. On the car.

So there's no case when they find out. No. That's it. For it up.

It's something to get going and then it's going. It's a fun. It's always fun. Especially if you're playing a bank.

You know what? I'm intrigued. That's a sight. Oh, I know.

We'll definitely take that. We'll see you. We'll go on. I'll always begin to do it.

Just unlike my other things. I'm scared. I was a bit nervous. Really?

I had a... I had a... I had a... I had a...

Interesting... I thought I was a... I thought I was a bit nervous. I thought I was a bit nervous.

I didn't... Oh, I'm so sorry. That thing goes wrong. I didn't expect the feeling of having edited the best part of the show.

I didn't expect Scamando to answer bit too long. Okay. Yeah. Iawatts.

What a tough thing. Yeah, no. What a try. Look at it.

What a bit? No. A little difficult. Do it able to scrub...

I told... You want to do it more quickly? Okay. I gave you a gun.

What? He was outside. He was like, what is it? What is it?

Yeah, seriously. He was like, what is it? Yeah, seriously. I was like, what?

What? No, this was basically like a fish mole with two propellers and there was not a cloud in the sky and it was January. And I was out there. Oh, it was a hot one.

Oh, it was a post. And that's that will do. I drank a lot of drugs. It's not small.

It's like, yeah, I can't have a lot of little plates. I did say your ex-wife is more spacious, didn't I? I've got the more comfortable. Nah, I've got the most comfortable lighting in the room.

I've got the most comfortable lighting in the room. I'm scared. It's not the parrot. It's not the parrot.

Not that particular one. It's not that model. It's more of the parrot. They removed that from the sound sample.

That's very cool. Yeah. So if we do the daily flights of Melbourne or Queensland at the back, how much fuel? It's about, uh, about four, fifty an hour wet.

So don't quit your fuel. You're talking about flight time. Flying time. That's what you're paying.

It's engine time. But when you land, if we spend the day in Melbourne and we park the... Yeah, tell them. Laning fees or about thirty bucks.

Oh, no, let your parking lot. Check the parking lot. You're back to the building. You're back to any park in the general aviation area?

Yeah, we're back. It's a general aviation area. Seriously? And do you walk off like a man?

I'd rather say something. No, no, no. It's not. You can't hit such a little black man.

You walk off your glasses. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm asking that.

It's a must-have idea. But you can't have... With the glass carpet, they can't be polarized because... You can't really do it.

You can't really do it. You can't really do it. You can't really do it. You can't really do it.

You can't really do it. You can't really do it. You're cruising at a hundred fifty knots. It's not bad.

You're going to do it fifty knots. Yeah. That's all we do. You're going to do it.

That's like a push. Yeah. You've got to be quick to come again. It's down.

Yeah. I'm happy. It's down. Shopping.

Oh, I know. It's not about... It's not about... It's about segway to like crashing into a paddock.

Talk about paddocks. Some of my thirteen-year-old son has decided he wants to... He's pulled his money together and he wants a paddock. How much money has he got?

He's got about three and a half or green. Have you got it? That's what I said. That's what I said.

That's what I said. He's fucking drags me. He's got a... He's got a...

Oh, you said dad would not get a car. It would be a dollar instead of a dollar instead of a dollar instead of a dollar instead of a dollar instead of a dollar instead of a dollar. It's when you get your real licence. I was thinking about the battery dollar for a dollar.

He's got a seven-year-old badger. He's not like a round-back. He's got the... No, that's jassy.

No, that's jassy. No, that's jassy. No, that's what I said. He's got the system on it.

This is Christian. Christian's the... Christian's the... So he's upgraded.

He's upgraded. He's on a 154 strike. So he's feeling like he's in a... He's driving.

He's like a 3.5 grand span. Yeah, so what we've done is, I'm closely doing a deal, I found that... Tell us, yes, I think. Give me...

There's two options. So, the one... The one... The one I've...

Oh, I've got two options. Hey, you felt good. Two. You felt good.

No. He just wants to learn how to drive manual, right? On something manual. So I've got two options.

No. So I've got it, I've found S3, the first S3 in manual. Allee. Yeah, with 200,000.

It's a Rignov car. Paddick basher. Yeah. It's got panels ripped off.

Okay, so the thought was get that but some bigger wheels on it. Anyway, so I started doing some googling and I put the I put the S3 to the side I'm thinking about getting him ready for it a smart car in manual You can buy lift people on that services you can buy lift no no the kid just wants to pay Ross do not make this about you Manual pay back You know what I'm talking to you What else you're gonna smoke out of to the two It's ruined it's my fault No, no, no, so you literally you take the shot to take a body off. It's gonna be European All the panels come off front door hole up form off right and then you literally bolt on they've built these kids where you can bolt on Like the rock a so it's like a buddy then you jack it up and you widen on these big big ties Realize these guys don't do this things like what you said like I think what they're costing for the camera. He'll find the parts of yourself get stuck Around the paddock you can drive around in it parts are easy for it.

What you know all my wife dinner And she goes off a 1994 Honda Accord Manual that's a good passion. It's a front door drive Because if you go into cars, I'll have a good cars and start loads of ice and everything So the company S3 it's a statue right off from Darwin How they mean it's got no food on it how do you clutch put it all that you want a foreground white take listen for grand I'll put it 15 hundred you guys when you want to be Go Can't be registered Need Right, no manual petrol right it will go forever right? Okay Drive to his school I just thought pipping up the smart car will look cool in your eyes. Yeah I It's an old Datsen, it was actually my first car.

I can't believe it. We did see one in New Zealand, it was just a rolling show, I don't think it had an engine. But it was like a two and a half, three grand. We were actually going to have a look at it in the whole COVID thing.

Jeff has been cooping. What was the second car? Was that a bit of re-? The 6,800 and the rally?

This was 1,200. Don't you get it? Facebook? Search the groups, especially Australian ones.

That's where you will find one. When it gets down to the next one, you've got to join those groups. And it's just what I'm going to call it. Be quicky?

No, tell him. That's the point. Don't let that go. I'll go for it.

I'll talk you into it. You just want to do it. It's similar to the one you made at 120. It's newer.

The one to the one you made. The sunny was, I think, 1989 to 8. Because you get the stands or all the stands. The stands were a bit lighter.

One tail, one tail, one tail. One tail. One tail, one tail, one tail. Yeah, no, one made it at 120.

First, you get it at the noise. The good thing about that is my mate never drank. So guess what? It brought me home every weekend.

Really? There is one for sale. In Victoria? It's the sedan, but it's brand new.

And you know how charges the commission. Yeah, of course. He's looking for an area for another. Oh, I'm sorry.

Right. So the 640 is gone. Yes. The record.

The record. Well, Matt, you left the card there. He has it's not. And whoever would ring him, he'd say, just ring his card at his place.

This nice gentleman came across and he had a broken English. No, I think he was Korean. No. That's right.

So, both of them were being traded around. Well, you don't have to rent your house. Don't have to go anywhere. No, no, no.

No, no. So, I get around. I don't have to go from Johnny. Sorry.

I don't know what you said to the guy, but it's not a big amount to my. Sorry. So, again, so the thing is, if you leave your car at my office, I'm going to get sucked. Right.

So, the other man's is there. Right. It could have been gone. Right.

It could have been gone. No, no, no. But as you know, last week we were speaking to Johnny about Johnny, Johnny got a phone call from a doer. He's put it out for some point.

No, no. So, Johnny got a phone call. There is a magic number that we can discuss what he'd like to get for his master. And basically, he offered him a magic number as a magic number.

The magic number, one is the one who won. Yeah. A little bit of a make-up. A little bit of a make-up.

Second. You won classic panic. What is there? So, I think it might not be.

So, yeah, there could be a printing horse could be in the garage. Yeah, it was a live drive. And then we'll talk about that. That's got the Galato.

Right. You saw the Galato. Yeah. Just one was the trick.

Yeah. So, the Galato has been detailed and everything because he's bought a GT2 RX. Right. And he picked it up on Friday.

So, everyone stopped ringing me on Friday. Every time we went for a driver on a Friday, I had a coffee. Right. Right.

He doesn't do that that way. That's not like. No, it's in non- I don't know. But I'm gonna call you.

I'm sorry I get out of there and trying to be like no, no, no. I'll try and get out of it. Just like you. I'm on a trade call.

I'm a certified weather car man okay I'll try and get out of the car. You Zh āmy My question is why is it not, sorry, why is it not insured? I can't even show. I'm feeling the dealer wasn't even sure.

It's not for sale. Yeah, it was not for sale because they had like other plates over there. For those listening who don't know, last week in Queensland in the rain, I think it was. Yeah, it was not.

Someone smacked a car dealer. A car dealer threw in a 43 and destroyed it. Into the trees. They reckon they got to fix it.

One lady owner. No scratches. No d- It's been raining tonight. No, it's been driving in the rain.

It's weird. I've done it a bit of a while. It's something in the winter. It's really weird the roads are all very slippery.

Had the X-5 didn't go anywhere. It's good. It's very, it's very, my special awareness. Driving back from, we had to a rental rain driving back from Queensland for about an hour of it.

It was perfect. It stayed in the lane. I'm worried that my brain is switching off to actually driving. I think I said it last week.

I'm starting to get really lazy. So I'm driving on the car. I'm like, there's a motorbike. I'm monitoring everything a lot more.

Yeah, but if I'm in another car, I'll strip the other lane because I know the car's going to drip back into it. You're getting used to having that safety van. Yeah, but to drive out of my driveway now because the car's gone. That's what they say.

They're called a safe, passive device. I think they're on the worst drive. I don't think they're very good. I think they're going to drive away.

We'll drive in and sort of snake through and whatever. If I don't want us to steer in, I'll just hit the bar and the car takes me back to the road. I'll just hit the bar and the car takes me back to the road. I'll just hit the other side.

Yeah, obviously it doesn't hit me. Yeah. I'll just stop. I can't go anymore.

Then you've got to be there. Yeah. So in the rain today, though, you thought there was something there because the rain was like really, really heavy. I stopped.

I'm like, no, I'm done. I'm done in ages. I'm going to switch off. I'm going to switch off.

I'm actually thinking I'm going to actually go back. No, I'm actually, as much as I love all that. That's right. Yeah, there's this.

And I thought you would smack me? No. And I thought we met up with the desert. I was real driving.

Yeah, it was a man. You were right. I was there guys. I couldn't keep up.

No. It was a first-time drive. I didn't realize that much. That much.

Well, that much. The 43. And it's my first-time drive car. It's phenomenal.

Yeah. I'm going to get the wet. I'm going to get the wet. I'm going to get the wet.

I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go.

I'm going to go. I'm going to go. And then if it's stepped in a little bit, it's still pretty. Yeah.

I think it's a 5-0 step down, man. They did it. They did a road kit. There's a centre.

That was a 5-0 buddy. He gives you all the other street. He goes against the hall. Going back to the 43.

That's all drive. The 63 is up. TheSim is still just real well. The new one's going to be full drive.

They're listening with the new… Yeah. So the emissions was in number six now. Your own seat. He's killing… He's killing home cars.

All the cars. So now anything built January the ship. Do we talk… Do we talk? Do we talk..

These are cars have a these are particular. Yeah. Petrol cars now have a gasoline particular field of their own OP if I'm not open last week's. Yeah, briefly.

So the OPF and the GPF are really restricting the power on these cars. And obviously people are working on how to sort of tune them out and whatever. But the fines that put on people in Europe are huge for taking them out. Obviously they want people to get in there.

But what it's done is it's taken away to sound that really beautiful throaty, throaty, safe in for the AMG's. They've done so much because they never had that. They've had that idea. But with AMG, they've taken away that.
